I think it'd be fair to say that most of you have never heard of Augustus Toplady, a young preacher who decided to take a walk though the English countryside. During his walk, a sudden storm assailed him. Seeking safety, he spotted a wide rock formation with an opening inside a cleft. He wedged his body in that cleft until the storm passed. Using this real-life situation, he wrote the hymn, "Rock of Ages". What a great life lesson! He didn't stand in the storm and try to 'wait it out'. He ran to the place of safety.
In our own lives, we will have rain. We will have dark storms that threaten to overwhelm us. There's no doubt that we will face storms; the question is not 'will we?' The question is 'WHEN will we?"
Don't stand out in the rain, girls. Seek shelter in the cleft of the Rock.
Scripture Reading for the Day:
